Hive / 2 players / Requires basically zero setup. Game is easy to pickup and a bit strategic
Star Realms / 2 players / Requires shuffling, separating some cards out and dealing out a few cards. Rules look daunting at first, but it’s pretty straight forward after a few games. There’s a mobile app if you want to try the digital version.
Fox in the Forest / 2 players / minimal setup
Play these with my wife and they’re all good for a relatively quick game. We’re not a big fan of largely random games and prefer something a bit more strategic.
Star realms is amazing! The mobile app is really good too! They have another game called Hero Realms which I highly recommend if you love Star realms! It's the same gameplay but you have a hero as well. It takes a little to get used too the new mechanics but it's a blast to play online haha
These are all really good options 👍🏼
Hope you enjoy your future game sessions!
Thank you, you too. What are you playing ATM?
I’ve been playing Evolution with the family which has been fun. Aside from that I’ve been playing mostly the base game of Star Realms with the wife.
Did you end up deciding on trying any games?
I second Fox in the Forest for competitive 2 player, and also recommend Fox in the Forest Duet for cooperative 2 player.
